Rep. John Spiros: Revenge porn bill one of our accomplishments in this session (column)

As the Assembly session comes to an end, I am very proud to have authored 15 bills and will see nine of those bills become law. My most recent bill, passed by the Senate and Assembly in the last weeks of session, will make it a Class A misdemeanor to post or publish privates images of someone without their permission. Usually done as an act of vengeance following a breakup, there are many websites that encourage this ugly behavior, and they too will be restricted.

The last night of the Assembly session, we passed the Cancer Treatment Fairness Act, which increases access to oral chemotherapy options, and I am proud to have voted in favor of this measure. I voted yes for the governor's Blueprint for Prosperity, which returned over $800 million in tax cuts to the Wisconsin taxpayers. Increased state revenues during my first term allowed us to cut property taxes and reduce withholding taxes, which will put more money in workers' paychecks, and I am proud to have been part of the largest tax cut in Wisconsin history.

We also passed legislation that will increase services and decrease stigma for those with mental health issues in our state.

This session has been an incredible one, and I am both humbled and honored to have taken part in it. Thank you for letting me serve you!
